Bitcoin is not only a currency and a payments network that is changing the way we manage our money, but also a passion for many of us who follow what’s happening in the space.
It was amazing to read the news today that BitPay, a leading Bitcoin payments service provider (PSP), processed a $1,000,000 transaction for its client, Kansas City-based Bitcoin mining hardware manufacturer, Butterfly Labs.
